This-”

Leo Martinez sounded hesitant. “This is a family matter, sir. Would it be inappropriate for me to interfere?”

Ethan Hale’s instructions were things that should ideally be relayed by the Hale family themselves. For a subordinate to deliver such a message to the Bennetts in front of the elders seemed…

“Just do it,” Ethan said, his voice low and cold. “He won’t make things difficult for you.”

Leo had no choice but to obey. He hung up the phone.

Ethan shoved his phone back into his pocket. Remembering something, he stopped and turned to look at Cole

Preston.

Cole was following behind him, lugging two suitcases.

‘Give me your phone.”

The moment the words left Ethan’s mouth, Cole dropped the suitcases and pulled his phone from his pocket, handing it over.

Ethan took the device, ripped out the SIM card, tossed it away, and inserted a new one.

‘My number is on here. Call me if something happens. Now get lost. Don’t show your face to me.”

He shoved the phone back at Cole, grabbed his own suitcase, and strode away.

Neon lights illuminated half the city. On the empty road, pools of light stretched the man’s shadow long against he pavement.

Cole watched Ethan’s retreating back for a long time before finally turning and walking in the opposite direction.

Northbrook, Hale Manor.

Miranda, the marriage between Chloe and Ethan… the Bennetts are reaching up, I know, but Ethan treats her like she doesn’t even matter!”

Sandra Bennett held the red-eyed Chloe Bennett, her heart aching for her daughter. She was willing to throw away years of friendship with Miranda Hale to get an explanation.

They say men change after the wedding, and I get that. Ethan is busy, and I never expected him to spend every second doting on her, but they aren’t even married yet! They haven’t even been back together for a full year, and he’s already acting like this. How can I trust him with my Chloe?”

Miranda’s expression was grim.

First, Sandra was a long-time friend. Having her come to the house demanding answers made Miranda look bad in front of the rest of the Hale family. After all, she was the one who had pushed hardest for this union.

Second, Ethan had actually gone to Everett. And Mia Carter was in Everett.

No one could figure out exactly what Ethan was up to.

“The branch was just established. The atmosphere is unstable, and the Henderson family is watching us like hawks.

Ethan must be there for work-”

Sandra interrupted her before she could finish.

“Do we really have to spell it out? Mia is in Everett. With her background, does she really deserve to be the manager of a branch? Ethan just wants to keep a ‘golden canary’ hidden away. He’s had a change of heart!”

“Sandra, don’t talk nonsense!”

Miranda couldn’t stand anyone saying a word against Ethan. She stood up, her aura instantly becoming sharp and imposing.

“When they first got back together, did Ethan not dote on her? Every time they had a little spat, she made sure the whole city knew about it. She’s the one who didn’t know how to appreciate what she had. She’s the one who tried to mess with Mia, and that’s what set Ethan off. Ethan values talent. Aside from her background, Mia’s abilities are top-tier. Even I would want to keep someone like that. What’s wrong with that?”

Sandra was speechless.

Miranda’s pent-up frustration and anger left Chloe’s face flushed with shame.

‘Auntie, I know I haven’t done well,” Chloe sobbed. “But I don’t think any woman could just stand by and watch her fiancé and his ex-wife acting like a couple. I’ve done things I shouldn’t have, and I’ve made Ethan lose his patience, but if he had just stayed away from Mia from the beginning, none of this would have happened!”

She cried like a wilted flower, her tears turning her into a picture of misery.

Sandra hugged her tightly, her heart breaking. “My poor daughter. Miranda, you watched her grow up, but in the end, you’re still going to protect your own son. If this is how it’s going to be, then this marriage isn’t worth it!”
